Jilted Ex-wife Billionaire Heiress

Chapter 148 Darya's Type

The flood of bad news made Amelia dizzy.

Anger twisted her face, and she no longer had the patience to see Bradley Gould.

She stormed out of Eminence and jumped into her car, dashing straight back to Starlight.

In Micah's office at Zenith, the atmosphere was equally tense.

Norris wasted no time in informing Micah about Darya's scandal, but before Micah could take action, the internet frenzy shifted.

To add insult to injury, Starlight had fallen into the hands of the Paragon Group.

The scandal involving Darya and Oliver, which had infuriated Micah previously, had now turned into a strange phenomenon.

Many people started shipping Darya and Oliver, creating videos and fan accounts for the pair, calling them compatible in every way.

Micah slammed his palm on the table, startling Norris.

The noise was deafening, and Norris quickly tried to console him.

But Micah's anger only intensified.

'Who is that guy?' he demanded. 'How could he ever be worthy of Darya?'

Norris replied without hesitation, 'Of course he's not worthy, Boss. Don't let these people get to you. They're probably just Oliver's fans trying to take advantage of Miss McAllister's popularity.'

But Norris couldn't fathom Micah's change in behaviour.

When they were married, Micah paid no attention to Darya.

Yet now, after their divorce, he seemed overly concerned about her.

He was even furious over mere rumours spread by anonymous internet users.

It was perplexing.

'What kind of man do you think Darya would like?' Micah asked, his words barely escaping his clenched teeth.

The sudden question caught Norris off guard.

His mind raced.

And why was his boss looking at him with such a strange coldness?

Micah noticed, as if for the first time, that his assistant would be described as 'handsome' by many.

With his tall and well-built stature, Norris exuded an air of confidence and strength.

His dark, tousled hair perfectly framed his chiselled jawline and captivating hazel eyes that seemed to hold a

hint of mystery.

He was often dressed in impeccably tailored suits that accentuated his masculine physique.

Whether it was a classic charcoal grey suit or a navy blue ensemble, he effortlessly exuded sophistication and

style.

Crisp white shirts, complemented by perfectly knotted ties or casually unbuttoned collars, added a hint of allure to his professional attire.

His attention to detail was evident in the way he matched his attire with polished leather shoes, completing his

debonair look.

His resting expression was a warm and disarming smile that lit up the room.

When he talked, his eyes sparkled with genuine interest and attentiveness, making anyone feel like they were

the centre of his world.

He possessed a calm and composed demeanour, often giving off an air of quiet confidence that drew people

towards him.

Micah couldn't help but recall the way Darya smiled at Norris.

But for him, Micah, she only had sneers and mockeries.

Why was she so friendly with Norris?

Norris shuffled his feet, uncomfortable under his boss's scorching and probing gaze.

'Well?' Micah promoted. 'You're on good terms with her, aren't you? So you would know her type.'

Norris's head felt like it would explode.

Since when had he been on good terms with Darya?

What was his boss thinking?

Norris had the feeling that if he didn't answer carefully, this might be the last day of his employment at Zenith. He took a deep breath and mustered the courage to respond under the immense pressure. 'Boss, my relationship with Miss McAllister isn't particularly close. But I believe she would appreciate a successful man like you, someone with a flourishing career and courage. There's no one else in the world who can match Miss McAllister except for you.'

Norris, sensing Micah's desire for flattery, played along. 'Oliver doesn't hold a candle to you, sir.'

'Why would Miss McAllister settle for anything less?' he quickly added, hoping to appease Micah conversation to an end.

Norris let out a sigh of relief when Micah didn't press further.

Finally, he could escape from Micah's presence.

'If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave now,' he said. 'I'll make sure to follow up

on the Solaro project.

Micah dismissed his assistant and picked up his phone to check the comments.

However, he quickly tossed it aside in frustration.

Reading the comments would only make him feel worse.

How could people think that Darya and Oliver were a good match?

Micah's expression turned increasingly grim.

He couldn't understand his own feelings.

Despite Darya's constant insults and taunting, he found himself inexplicably concerned about her every move.

With the Amelia situation resolved, Darya felt a surge of relief.

The swift acquisition of Starlight not only alleviated the pressure from public opinion but also caught Amelia off guard.

The internet was now flooded with negative comments about the actress.

Without the backing of Starlight, Amelia had to rely on herself and seek the help of disorganised and undisciplined internet trolls if she still wanted to make waves. Monday morning, Darya attended the daily meetings at Solaro, feeling jubilant. Reece had grown accustomed to the tension between Darya and Micah and did not fail to observe her smug

expression.

Micah's face, on the other hand, displayed anger and frustration, making everyone keep their distance.

As the meeting concluded, Darya stepped into her car, and Glen Chasey handed her the documents.noveldrama

'There are some unresolved matters related to the Starlight acquisition,' Glen said. 'We now own fifty-one per

cent of the company.'

'Good. That's enough for me to have the biggest say in running the company. But

it would be even better if we

have more.'

'The rest of the forty-nine per cent is distributed among the Langford family, several individual investors, and a chunk of ten per cent that's...'

'What about the ten per cent?' Darya asked.

'From what I can find out, it appears that Mr Cavanaugh's involved. The shareholders who own the t cent have worked out some kind of deal with him. They won't talk to me even if I offer them a higher price

'Him again? How did that happen?'

Darya was taken aback by the revelation and was about to ask for an explanation

when a knock on the car window interrupted her thoughts.

Looking up, she saw Micah standing outside the car, his face seemingly

indifferent.
